The Long Ago, Stolen Primary

The 2004 stolen primary election, regarding the 9th District Congress race, that has never been discussed by the mainline media nor addressed by Rep. Adam Smith, is still waiting to come out into the broad open, and thus to stop Smith's steady progression of becoming yet another congressman-for-life in Washington, D.C.  The rightist Democrat was the beneficiary of the election that year as a result of him facing the wrong and misapplied challenger in the '04 general election.  I actually won the G.O.P. '04 primary, but the victory was snatched from me as a result of the incompetency of then Director Dean Logan and his King County Elections Dept., which never investigated their audit log problem properly or at all.  Public officials in various places all over Washington state are aware of the '04 primary malfeasance by the Elections Dept. (not properly attending to finding out what happened to missing audit logs), and in regards to an outsider or outsiders (outside of Elections) stealing an election electronically through remote control.  No mainline media reporters in or outside Washington state have ever felt it necessary to investigate that election since no Establishment politician was affected. 

Now, as I prepare to wage another campaign for the same congressional seat 10 years later, I will continue bringing up the stolen election and how Adam Smith benefitted from it, even though unwittingly, until the truth comes out.  Smith had no involvement in the theft, I stress that he was an unwitting beneficiary, but it is likely that he knows about the circumstances surrounding the primary and has kept mum about it.  So has the U.S. District Attorney for Western Washington, Jenny Durkan, kept mum, as she very likely knows more about the circumstances surrounding that primary than Smith does (neither she nor her office ever replied to an inquiry about the election that I made).  The F.B.I. was respectful, however, and they did reply to me and implied that something was not quite right about that election, although they could not intercede since the statute of limitations had run out by the time that I knew about any of this (2010).  The mainline media in Washington has been disgraceful as they jumped all over the Rossi - Gregoire imbroglio in the same year, 2004, but stayed as far away from the 9th Congressional district primary as they could.  Hopefully, the new 9th District campaign by me will resurrect new interest in the stolen election (by the alternative media and others) and thus put pressure on the mainline media to do the job that they failed to do in '04.

Note:  Investigative journalist, Tom Flocco, published this report about the '04 primary on Nov. 2nd, 2004.

The 2007 Primary for City Council

Party of Commons' chairman, Mark Greene, has been active in both local and national affairs. In 2007, he ran for City Council in Newcastle, and proposed that the city try to attract sustainable energy businesses to locate inside it, among other campaign ideas.

County Executive Election Conundrum

No telling who is going to be in the Nov. 3rd general election with Susan Hutchison for county executive. Hutchison & Reagan Dunn (the Hutchison slate), and Mark Greene are the three most likely King County government candidates (in contested elections) to come out of the primary, but whoever the 4th candidate will be is a puzzle. We believe Dow Constantine made a strategic error by making too big of a deal of contrasting himself with Hutchison on social issues that have nothing to do with county government. Fred Jarrett and Ross Hunter are average politicians, but their drawbacks, besides being average, are a little eyebrow raising. Larry Phillips looks like the best of the lot most likely to make it into the "top two." Alan Lobdell is a capable individual for the post of county executive, although through no fault of his own, he is not getting much press attention. Lippmann and Nelson should try for lower positions, such as boards or councils, before putting their hat...

One Hard Test: Finding Smith's Congressional Accomplishments

While I am campaigning, several people tell me they are supporting Adam Smith for Congress no matter what.  However, when I ask them to name some accomplishment by Smith that helped to garner their support, I usually get frowns as if I was giving them some kind of hard test.  About the closest thing I've heard from someone to answer this question was that he's good on technology, but that was it, just a general vague sense that he is doing something right with technology -- perhaps giving the go-ahead for Uncle Sam to assist a country, with American nuclear energy technology, that has refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), as if that were "good."  Smith, as a de facto member of the Democratic Party's corporate "Blue Dog" wing in Congress, is part and parcel of the "This Town" (a new book by Mark Leibovich) crowd in Washington, D.C.  We recommend this book to anybody who wants ...
